Remember, however, that *wood has offered more opportunities for double stay credits this year than EVER BEFORE.

I've been on the other side of the equation this year with more stays in 2009 than ever before.
I would not be in favor of extending status for anyone who was unable to meet the criteria in 2009, given the very generous bonus offers that were extended.
